Value Collection R57900543 Slotted Spring Pin 14mm 2.50mm Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57900543 is a metric slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a resilient, press-fit fastener is required. Manufactured from 1070-1080 grade carbon steel with a plain finish, this pin measures 14 mm in length and 2.50 mm in diameter. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial force against the bore wall, creating a secure interference fit without adhesives or additional fasteners. Machinists, assemblers, and maintenance technicians working with metric-dimensioned components install this type of pin in production and repair environments.

This slotted spring pin is suited for metric mechanical assemblies including linkages, hinges, gears, levers, and shaft-to-collar connections where a removable or semi-permanent retention pin is needed. The 2.50 mm diameter and 14 mm length make it appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty applications in equipment manufactured to metric standards. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for production runs, maintenance kits, and parts inventory restocking.

Key Features

• Slotted spring design compresses on insertion for a secure radial interference fit
• 1070-1080 grade carbon steel construction provides strength and resilience under cyclic loading
• Plain finish suitable for standard indoor mechanical environments
• Metric dimensioning: 14 mm overall length, 2.50 mm diameter
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric slotted spring pin for use in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 2.50 mm diameter, 14 mm long retention pin.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and dimensioned correctly for a proper interference fit before driving the pin. The slot should be oriented to distribute load according to application requirements. Inspect the bore and surrounding material for cracks or deformation before and after installation.
